#//mav is a gift

[hardhue]

"Second time this week. This your idea of fun, Mav?"

[whohasthecards]

Mav, Jake, & Blankie

Mav gifts Jake a soft blanket with letters or the alphabet printed all over it.

Jake: What's this, pops? Isn't this a kid's blanket?

Mav: Took me a while, but I found one that'll actually cover you head to toe.

Jake (grinning): Not used to shopping for blankets my size, Mav?

Mav (rolling his eyes): Ha-Ha very funny, kid.

Jake: Yes I'm hilarious, but seriously, what's up with the alphabet print, pops? I ain't an actual kid, I'm a big boy who knows his A, B, Cs

Mav: Not according to how you got your callsign

Jake (smiling sharply): Haven't you heard from Bradshaw, pops? I got my callsign from leaving people hanging, he's the one that coined it after all

Mav: I heard from Bradley that you already had a callsign when he met you, that you got it for a bunch of spelling mistakes you made in one of your reports.

Jake: ....

Mav: He also told me he got mad at you after a training hop, and he shouted that Hangman was the name of someone who would always leave a man behind. People latched on to that story. Didn't think you would have latched on as well, son

Jake (smiling bitterly): It's the story most people know and believe. You gotta own it, or the Navy'll eat ya alive.

Mav: We know that you aren't that. Your team knows that. I'm proud of you, son. For getting where you are now. This blanket is a reminder that you have to be proud of yourself too. Hangman isn't the name of some random asshole, Hangman is the name of some--

Jake: Asshole that can't spell?

Mav: I was going to say some human who makes the occassional mistake, but that works too, buddy.

Jake (runs his hands through the blanket, his throat getting tighter): ... Thank you, Mav.

Mav (claps Jake's shoulder): Of course, son. Enjoy your blankie (Mav grins widely)

Jake (chokes out a laugh): Fuck you, pops (buries his face into the blanket)

Mav pulls the kid into a hug, feeling the kid relax in his arms, taking deep breaths. He was always there to remind his kids that he sees them as who they are, not as who they think they have to be.

Y'know what fuck it icemav having a mansion as house. Let them have these two stories with three bedrooms because one is for them, one is because they have to fake it until the repeal of the DADT (but it's mostly used as home office) and one for baby Bradley. A cozy place they call their own, and that makes them not afraid to be around each other or to be a family because they had such a shitty childhood that they now deserve everything they want, and that's that. A patio and a garden for every single time they try to grow something, where they fail but it's okay because mistakes aren't the end of the world, and they can learn how to fix them together. And a garage that gets bigger after five years of them living there because their neighbours don't need a piece of their share property, and so they buy it, and Mav goes a little crazy because all that space is his now. A house cat that gives everybody a heart attack for day and walking distance from most places where they can go walking that, at some point, Mav has to dust is bike.

🍯🏍️☃️🌕Icemav Honeymooning🍯🏍️☃️🌕

Ice’s secretary enters his office and says with a mischievous smile, “You have urgent mail, Admiral.”

Ice sighs, already done with today’s work, and it’s not even noon yet. “What is it now, I hope it’s not that pain in the ass again!”

“Well, it is not the current pain in the ass, no sir.”

“Who is it then?”

“YOUR pain in the ass, sir! I’m going to take my break now if that’s all right.”, they exits the office with a wink.

The Admiral opens the mail…

The secretary who’s eating the food delivered by Maverick texts him a ‘Mission Accomplished!’.

[I found the cold-themed puns here.]

[The post was only an excuse to try the Maverick Font created by @k9effect. I really like it, it's pretty cool! :P]

hi hi goose goose <3

thinking about eds n him always making you stuff for holidays. handmade stuff or even just like singing u a song he wrote. n the only time he splurges is for christmas bc i can see him having such a soft spot for the holiday. <3

I'M CRAWLING ACROSS THE FLOOR CLUTCHING MY HEART THIS IS SO DEAR TO ME!!!!

i feel like eddie has a thousand of hidden hobbies because he knows that if someone finds out about them, they'll make his life a living hell. but once the holidays come around (esp valentine's day and christmas), he can't help himself and will end up making you a bunch of stuff – most of them are extremely messy, but still extremely endearing.

i mean, he is no seamster but i just know that he would try to make you some cute clothes (you know that guy on tiktok that makes outfits for his girlfriend all the time? yeah, that's him), even though they'd be pretty shitty in the beginning, you can't deny that eddie does know how to sew some lovely skirts – and he would totally adjust some of your clothes if you ask him to. but i feel like his specialty is customization, where he alters some old clothes he bought at the thrift store to make them more your style and gift them to you <3

eddie probably knows how to knit and lemme tell you: when he isn't planning the club's campaigns, he will stay up all night knitting you a sweater. and if you like them and wear them all the time, he probably makes you one each week, i swear. and he would totally be That Sappy Boyfriend™ and knit you both matching sweaters so you can use them on christmas.

and he totally does have a notebook full of short love poems and love ballads that he writes exclusively for you, but he almost never plays them outside of his bedroom because they're made for your ears only – which upsets you a bit because they're so good that you feel he has to share it with the world. i feel like his first valentine's day gift to you was a very messy and smudged love poem that he wrote for you.

not to mention that he would 100% learn how to make bead bracelets and rings for you just because you mindlessly commented one day that you find them really cute.

souperrrr I know you’re probably chill with this but I’d feel like a shmuck if I didn’t ask, if it’s alright with you if I draw your star sapphire design? I’m in love with her

Absolutely, I would shit and cry even!!!!!!

A sitcom-like/humour fic AU where Bradley's papers haven't been pulled and he does land in USNA but he's doing everything and anything not to be labeled as the nepo baby even though he definitely is a nepo baby

This would include:

- Bradley knowing things he isn't supposed to know as a first year (plebe?) because he had inside sources (Ice and Slider) and things didn't change much

- Every single person from the personnel knowing who he is and Bradley ditching attempts to use him as a stepping ladder to meet Ice and/or Mav

- Having to listen to his crush (Hangman) making whole odes about his old man (either Mav or Ice, you pick)

- Pretending he doesn't know Slider when he comes to visit as a 'guest speaker', including when Slider tries to speaks to him, making Slider seem crazy

- Lying to everyone that he had a family emergency and that's why he was gone the last two weeks of summer training when in reality Ice pulled him out because he wanted to take him and Mav to the seaside somewhere in Europe

- When they get an opportunity to get a pilot licence along their studies, he fakes ignorance and signs up again (despite already having a pilot licence) and then demolishes everyone and gets banned from flying in the training group (*cough* Mav's influence *cough*)

- Doing the craziest mental summersaults and pretending he didn't know who Ice was when he was driving him back to the Academy and talking to him at the meet point and people saw ("Oh was that Admiral Kazansky? I thought he'd be taller")

- Hangman: So what your parents do for a living? Rooster: My dad works admin (there's a lot of paperwork when you're an admiral) and the other one is switching to research (testing planes kinda is research)

- After Ice's impromptu visit (poor Ice has the empty nest syndrome...) - some of his classmates gossiping: Did you hear that apparently the Iceman is gay? Bradley, with a fake pikachu face, even though he had literally helped Mav choose the engagement ring for Ice: Nah, not possible.

- Also, Bradley knowing that telling Jake would impress him so much but feeling absolutely physically ill whenever he thinks why and ending up not telling Jake for years (like, up until a dinner before graduation when Jake the Boyfriend gets asked to dinner and brings the Iceman a discounted pot plant that's half dying as the meet-the-parents gift and promptly has an anxiety attack on the front porch when Bradley does tell him)

- Bradley making elaborate excuses why Mav and Ice can't meet his academy friends when they're staying close to their home, to the point Mav starts thinking he's embarrassed by them

There was something else that I'm forgetting rn so might add more later

Ice proposes to Mav back in 1995 and since that day Maverick talks about him as his husband. His husband does this, those and that, his husband is going to be an Admiral and teach with him the new class at TOP GUN, his husband. He can't really say that to anyone and when, in 2015, they can finally marry Mav doesn't even asks Ice, he just takes him by hand and drive straight to the first court of justice he can find. They get married with two stranger by their side, twenty years after Ice proposal and it's the best wedding they could have asked for.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E and Top Gun Fusion - Hangster & Icemav [part 5]

[Before the GunTop Agency Debacle –unofficially called the Wingvorce by Ice and Mav's colleagues–, when they were still partners.]

Agent Iceman invites his partner, Agent Maverick, to dinner. It’s supposedly to celebrate the latest accomplished mission, but it’s in fact a date. They’re in a cute little Mexican restaurant, eating spicy food.

Maverick is talking excitedly about what happened during the mission, when both agents were separated, and Mav ended up in a fight with a MiG agent. Iceman is listening, a bit distractedly, to his love partner while drinking a lemon juice. (He’s not particularly fond of spicy food, however, he’s fond of –t–his spicy-loving dumbass.)

Mav: …and we were in the men toilets, smashing the doors and everything. And then I did him good, Ice, very good. I double-fisted him real hard!

Ice is doing a very good impression of a spitting alpaca on a poor waiter who came to ask them if they wanted a dessert.

Ice: YOU DID WHAT?!

Mav: Yeah, you know, the double-fist move. I got tone and knocked him out quickly after that.

Ice, relieved: Yeah. Of course. Thank fuck… Well done, Mav. Do you want a dessert?

Mav: Sure. I want the fried thingies with the milk jam.

Ice to the server: dos raciones de churros con dulce de leche y chocolate, por fa.
